Lauri Valonen was a Finnish Nordic combined skier who also competed in ski jumping, active in the 1930s. Olympedia gives his birth as 1909 in Helsinki and his death as 2 October 1982 in Lahti, where he belonged to the club Lahden Hiihtoseura, and records him as Finnish champion in the Nordic combined from 1932 to 1934. He won the silver medal in the individual Nordic combined event at the 1935 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships in Vysoké Tatry. The following year he competed at the 1936 Winter Olympics in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, finishing fourth in the individual Nordic combined and sixth in the large hill ski jump. Wikipedia and Olympedia disagree on the day of his birth in 1909, giving 28 November and 28 September respectively.
